Practical application still behind, will it ultimately take over? Ultimately in what contexts? Big interest of mine.
Robot 'Chef' Represents Leap Forward in Automated Cooking
Bloomberg,Nina Massey, May 4, 2022
The designers of a robot chef at the U.K.’s University of Cambridge trained it to "taste" foods at different stages of the chewing process to determine their saltiness, which they suggest could help in developing automated or semi-automated food preparation. "We want the robots to understand the concept of taste, which will make them better cooks," said Cambridge’s Arsen Abdulali. People notice changes in taste and texture as they chew, and the robot, which had been trained to make omelets, tasted nine variations of scrambled eggs and tomatoes at three different stages of the chewing process, then produced taste maps of the different meals. The robot used a saltiness sensor attached to a robot arm to mimic the chewing/tasting process, and “tasted” dishes in a grid-like manner. ....'
